I had a second hand tool box sitting around- old red metal style and we filled it up with some pliers, screwdrivers, a small rubber hammer, a few wall anchors, and other knick knacks. He was real happy.
2 days ago we assembled a hand turned shaving brush I bought for him off etsy - we mixed up the epoxy and installed a boar knot. Naturally, he won't be using the brush for a few years(he is only 3) but I try to pick up some life tools that he can have when he gets older. Already has most of a shaving kit, and some decent name brand tools, most of which are better than the second hand stuff I use. As he gets older I will get him a few skillets, and a solid firearm - I'd say like a 1911 or Beretta 92 but it will probably be a more modernized version of something like that.
I am doing the same thing for may daughter with gifting and I will get her a KitchenAid mixer and pans and such. My parents got me plastic junk that broke. My kids have plenty of that crap around so I try to buy gifts that will last a lifetime or close to it.
If you are reading this, go be a good dad this weekend.
I know, don’t go off on me, I was hungry. At least I cooked at home. It was $10 for the pound package. Very fatty looking, grilled up in pace with just salt and pepper. Flavor was good, but nothing special. I think I’ve figured it out. They grind up sirloin, because it tasted like sirloin, with a bunch of fat and send it out. I mean come on, real waygu is $100 a pound. There’s no way this was real, not at any grade.
A pound of grass fed ground beef is $10 anywhere you go, and it’s no better or worse than this was. I usually buy my grass fed for 4.50 a pound from the local guy but mine was all frozen and I just needed to come home a feed.
I guess he wasn't anonymous enough because they went to the trouble of tracking him down.
In May 2023, Dr. Eithan Haim leaked the sex change documents to investigative reporter Christopher Rufo. Dr. Haim was careful not to disclose any patient information but the Biden DOJ indicted him on four felony counts related to HIPAA violations.
One day after Dr. Haim exposed the Texas Children’s Hospital, the Texas state legislature voted to ban transgender medical treatment and procedures on minors.
“Had three heavily armed agents at my door 7AM Tuesday to inform me I was indicted with four felonies…for blowing the whistle about the largest children’s hospital in the world lying to the public about their transgender program,”
“Just over a month later, on June 23rd, 2023, a few hours before my graduation from surgical training, two federal agents showed up to my apartment in a highly atypical, unexpected, and aggressive show of force. Despite their best attempt at launching a surprise interview, I insisted on having an attorney present. Before leaving, however, I was given a target letter signed by a federal prosecutor that stated I was being criminally investigated for a case regarding “medical records.”” – he said.
“Since no laws had been violated (no personally identifiable patient health information was disclosed), this was nothing more than a blatant attempt at political intimidation. We believe this case is being driven by a highly ideological division within the Department of Health and Human Services that aims to silence whistleblowers who expose institutionalized medical corruption and the dangers of these hormone-based interventions for confused, adolescent children,” Dr. Haim added.
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 1970-2023 capital cities property prices. With a nice little video for those with tiktok brain.
The 'cost of living' is a bot slogan used by midwits who can't math and couldn't read the writing on the wall for the last 23 years.
The average full-time earnings in 1975 was $7,600 per year, property was $24K to $35K. You would earn annually 1/5 the cost of a property. The rule dictates that your mortgage repayment shouldn't be more than 35% of your gross income and not more than 45% of your net income after tax. So an average property was affordable even on minimum wage with a 15yr mortgage, with 30yrs being maximum term.
Wage in 1975 is $7,600 p/yr: Property in 1975 is 35K Wage in 2024 is $89,000 p/yr: Property in 2024 is now 1.6M with a 6-7% increase before year's end. Inflation outstrips wage growth, even when saving for a deposit. The goalposts move quicker than you can save, not accounting for the increase in food, utilities and rent. You now need an income of 240K to qualify for a mortgage.
According to Finder, the average freestanding home within a 30km radius of the city (Within 1hr commuting distance to employment) requiring a minimum combined household income of $400,000 or more to pass the affordability tests necessary for a loan.
Only 2 per cent of those required to pay tax earned more than $211,365. Only 3 per cent earned more than $188,667.
After covid, increase in rent has increased 8% per year, with wage growth around 2-3% bi-annually.
The only fix is to guillotine every politician, reverse all migration since 1990, regulate corporate Australia and completely reform the building trade, whilst also subsidising trade qualifications to promote builders and continue urban sprawl by allocating several thousand more cities all around the A1 Pacific hwy. The USA has some 19K cities, Australia has only 86.
But the main reason is that (((politicians))) have property portfolios as investments and not for habitation. Negatively geared assets and foreign ownership, mass migration increase properties capital growth adding to politicians nest eggs, making property unaffordable , retarding White birth rates so they can make a shekel whilst Whites are genocided.
If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Upgoat.net go down.
NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @TheRealBuddha or myself)
If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.
By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.
